Fix farmer route to use v2 genome/emotions fields

Farmer v2: DNA genome (24 genes), 6-channel emotions, Pavlovian learning, instinct-driven

Paper 009: The Divine Interface — prayer protocol, self-authoring prompts, implementation spec

Paper 008: Prayer system + emergent social classes — farmers as self-designing civilization

Paper 007: DNA instinct genome at scale — 1000 farmers, Pavlovian learning, Lamarckian evolution

Papers 005-006: Emotional signal bus + implementation plan for layered brain

Paper 004: Layered consciousness architecture — instinct/reactive/cortex brain model

Paper 003: Farmer population first 24hrs — 77% starvation mortality, zero marriages

Add research papers: ecosystem balance + farmer emergent behavior design

World objects get label field: farmer structures show 'Name's Tent' etc

Farmer migration packs up camp: deletes old structures, places new ones at destination

Farmers stay near home: search veg near camp, return if >60m away

Farmer structures persist to world_object table for chunk loading

Ecosystem balance: fox omnivore+hunts fawns, chicken hunger halved, bear territorial

Fix fox overpopulation: hunger 1->4/min, breed cooldown 10->15min, breed hunger 40->25

Set farmer ai_agenda to farm on spawn instead of default follow_commander

Even 2m gaps: tent(0) -> farmer(+2) -> fire(+4) -> log(+6)

Farmer spawns 1m in front of tent, between tent and fire

Fix farmer camp: tent at spawn, fire 3m away, log 1m from fire; clear old farmers

Add Grok decision logging for farmers

Include spawnPos in world_state so client spawns at last position

Use actual Synty prefab names for farmer structures

Remove accidentally committed services/mobile/ and .deploy.env from git

Remove leaked google-services.json, add services/mobile/ to gitignore

Fix farmer spawn: use admin user_id for FK, pass to child spawns

World NPC delete: broadcast world_npc_removed to all clients

Farmer NPC: fix crypto import, fix route import path

Farmer NPC system: autonomous villagers with Grok brains, memories, families, farming

Admin vegetation plant: skip seed check when admin:true

Chickens starve 2x faster: hungerPerMinute 3 -> 6

Buff bears: faster, stronger, breed 2x faster, slower hunger, wider search

Add POST /critters/{id}/hit endpoint for arrow/melee damage

Foxes: hunt 20% base chance, breed 2x faster, slower hunger, wider search

Add appearance JSON to world_npc for custom modular characters

Rotate: recompute full grid at new angle each step, maintains perfect spacing throughout arc

Fix TS18048: null check brain in staggered form_up

Rotate: large rotations chain as 15° arc steps (1.5s apart), units walk arcs not straight lines

Staggered formation: units move in waves of 8, closest first, 500ms between waves

Idle NPCs yield to moving teammates: 1.5m range, 1.5 force when teammate approaching

Same-army NPC collision: 0.5m range / 0.5 force (vs 1.5m / 2.0 for enemies)

NPC-on-NPC push force 0.8 -> 2.0, NPCs still return to hold position after

Player push 3x stronger (2.0), updates NPC hold position so guard doesn't fight back

Broadcast idle action in 200ms tick when NPC just stopped walking (fixes walk-in-place)

NPC-on-NPC push range 0.4m -> 1.5m to match player push

Shrink NPC collision radius 1.2m -> 0.4m, less blocking during form_up

Push: moving units get sideways push only (slide past each other), idle get full push

Step commands: units hold facing direction while moving (no turning around)

Stuck detection: wait 5s (10 ticks) before stepping backward

Stuck detection: NPCs step backward 500ms after 3 ticks without progress, then retry

Fix push: moving units ignore NPC push (walk straight), idle units get pushed aside

Step_forward/back uses group leader facing (centurion > decurion > sergeant)

Strong push (1.2m range, 1.0 force) so NPCs shove past each other immediately

Add rotate_left and rotate_right army commands (15° around army center)

Add step_forward and step_back army commands (1m in commander facing direction)

Stronger correction (0.8x dist), tighter arrival (0.15m), NPCs push through blockers

Re-enable same-army push while moving to formation, disable once both idle

Fix: NPCs on hold/move_to don't track commander delta, widen arrival threshold to 0.3m

Formation: run when >3m from target, walk when close

Smooth formation: apply commander delta in 200ms tick, not 500ms

Fix formation movement: all move_to/guard/follow use direct walk, no steering

Hold command now computes exact grid positions like form_up

Form_up computes exact grid positions (like move_to), not dynamic follow

Formation: always use direct correction (no steering), speed scales with distance

Synchronized formation movement: lockstep with commander delta + gentle correction, no same-army push

Fix TS2352 cast in worldObjects delete-by-position

Add DELETE /api/v1/world/objects by position+prefab_name

Fix formations: overlap 0.6m < spacing, decelerate on approach, 0.15m precision

Bears flee from humanoids, attack when hungry (hunger >= 60)

Vegetation spacing: grass 6-10m/6m, trees 15-25m/15m, bushes 10-20m/8m

Fix vegCounts desync: resync from DB every 60s

Critter life log: born/ate/hunted/mated/fled/starved/killed events + API endpoint

NPCs spawn at saved position on hold — no running, wait for orders

Teleport NPCs near commander if saved position >100m away

Stats history: record snapshots every 5s, downsample hourly, REST API for graphs

Reset transient agendas (move_to/guard) to follow_commander on reload

World stats broadcast every 5s instead of 30s

Persistent positions: NPCs spawn at saved DB position, save every 60s + on disconnect

Grass spacing 6m, bush spacing 20m, grass ignores trees beyond 1.5m

Delete chickens/deer/3000 oaks, reduce oak spread to 3.75%

Chunked spread processing + in-memory veg counts: yield event loop every 100 plants

Cache veg stats (5min refresh), fix event loop starvation causing disconnects

Spread cooldown: failed plants wait exponentially longer, wake on neighbor death

No limits: fetch all mature, random roll in Node, density check only on candidates

Fix vegetation perf tracking: use Date.now, log errors

Restore uncapped vegetation growth — only spread checks were heavy

Vegetation optimization: skip saturated areas, cap batches — fixes WebSocket disconnects

Server performance tracking: tick durations, memory, uptime in world_stats

Chickens can now eat bushes too

Add game day to world_time broadcast for lunar cycle sync

World stats API + 30s WebSocket broadcast for live critter/vegetation counts

Hunger-scaled behavior: all animals gradually increase activity as hunger grows

Bears hunt first: predators check prey before vegetation, bear veg restore reduced to force hunting

Trees now trampleable: 7 dmg per walk (~15 walks to kill vs 5 for grass)

Center formation behind commander: centurion centered, soldiers grid centered around centurion

Add 20-troop formation geometry simulation tests

Fix formation walk-in-place: widen idle threshold to 0.5m to prevent push oscillation

Fix TS: add preyId/killStarted to baby CritterState in mating

Widen NPC-to-NPC push to 1.5m so they can walk past each other

Seeded critters spawn as adults, NPCs dodge away from players, gene inheritance

Behavioral genes: boldness, speed, social, hunger tolerance, curiosity — inherited with mutation
